English Libretto or Translation:

DES GRIEUXaloneI am alone! At last alone!It is the supreme moment!There is nothing more that I wantexcept the sacred calm that my faith brings me.Yes, I have sought to place God himselfbetween the world and me.Ah! Vanish sweet memory too dear to my heart;respect a calm won through much suffering,and remember that if I have tasted of a bitter cup,my heart could fill it full with the blood it has shed!Ah! Vanish, vanish, go far from me!Life itself and sham glory mean nothing to me.I want only to expel from the depths of my memory...A cursed name!... this name... which obsesses me, and why?
